Dr. Afghanj provided exceptional care during my visit. She listened to my symptoms, provided feedback, and truly seemed present and concerned. I didn't get the feeling I was caught in the sprint to see the next patient.

Dr Afghani is ABSOLUTELY THE VERY BEST THERE IS! She is caring, professional, communicative and makes IPMN very understandable. I cannot say a single negative thing about the Pancreatic Cyst Clinic! I love everyone . I come from New York to see Dr. Afghani every year - that's how great she is!
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 10/16/2023
Dr Afghani is a wonderful, caring and empathetic physician. I would rate her an 11 out of 10. I am so happy I found her. I feel I can discuss anything with her and I will get an honest answer. She is also a very good listener.

Dr Afghani is very caring and thoughtful. She always listens to my concerns and if she doesn't have answers she will research and get back to me

She diagnosed and effectively treated a problem I'd had for twenty-plus years which two other good G-I specialists had been unable to diagnose.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 9/5/2023
Future tests were ordered so no need for someone to call me with results. Dr Afghani was the provider I really hoped to be able to see, so was very happy to find myself on her schedule (when I had been told that I'd likely see the NP).
